00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.679
Basically when I started in the business, seeing a veterinarian,

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.720
seeing a medical profession and with animals was I mean,

3
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.000
I think probably at that point in time, the bulk

4
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.760
of the business was still in agriculture, a large animal professions,

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.839
some small animal stuff, you know, a lot of it

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.519
done in home, things of that nature. And basically pet

7
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.679
owners weren't doing all this, you know, regular testing and

8
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.600
regular visits and all that stuff. It was if there

9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.679
was a problem, you know, either you know, possibly when

10
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.439
you got a brand new pat you'd go in just

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.560
for general physical, which back then it was a physical.

12
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.840
It wasn't a sales opportunity.
